Looking for the comfort zone

It surprised us first thing in the morning - - no snow.  Jez had to leave this morning... and I had to get back to my routine. boo.

My landlord called this morning asking if the plumbers could get access to my ceiling; since today I was off, it worked out.  I did commit to responding to calls and emails today since I was off yesterday too.  So after a morning appt. I ran to the office right quick.  Things were covered in plastic but no evidence of work yet...I headed back to the house to call Pops.

Dad Report: We had a lengthy conversation about friends, inspired by my visit from Jez.  How we made (or didn't make them), the importance of them, what it took to "maintain" them, when in our lives we had friends and when we didn't, why it was hard to make them for us,  [apparently I had two strikes against me - with both parents not being social and being somewhat socially awkward/anxious.], and Dad's sadness over not having any friends now.

It's been cold and uncomfortable in my body the last few days.  Everyone is really not feeling their best, like we all need a big long nap in front of a good movie with hot chocolate and blankies.

Today I did get regular work done and I re-re-clear bagged all of Z's cards and all of my sister's cards which I had re-bagged so I could do Z's. Ugh.  I got my portfolio ready for Hobbs tomorrow.

I can't say that I am not getting a little discouraged. I am.  The Merc called yesterday and they won't be "looking at new artists until after the first of the year."  So that means, there's Hobbs tomorrow.  I still need to make a connection to Wonder Fair.  So far they haven't responded to my email.  And I need to stop in at Raven and see if Heidi has gotten a chance to look at Z's cards that I dropped off on Friday.   And then there's BizBaz... but I don't want to pin all my hopes on it.  My sister sent the new images...so I need to look at them and make some decisions.


And I need to write.  MUST FIND TIME TO WRITE. 

Random Photo of the Day:


oh look- it's my friend Red.  Eating Chipotle (Jez will be jealous).  I love her more than she loves Chipotle.  That's a lot.

I made homemade mac n cheese today.  It was good but it was too bland in my opinion.  I won't give up on it quite yet...

Here's the last of the birthday excitements for the girl...

I think she thinks it's a phone...

oh no, she's just trying to hide behind it.
